Our data base search yields nothing about Cooke's background. We can't find his farm. We only found a PO Box at a mailbox store. His business is also not registered with the state of Missouri or Kansas. The $365 fee took a huge bite out of several wallets, but gave customers little to chew on. We also made several calls and sent emails to cooke - he has not contacted us.
There are many good, local CSA's. Our experts say step one would be to visit the actual farm, before you buy.
